Title: Coating of organic and inorganic pigments with acrylic resins
Inventor: BARDELLI ACHILLE ANGELO
IPC: C09D7/80
Filed: 2006-01-16
Abstract: Coating of organic and inorganic pigments with acrylic resins, comprising a chemical compound consisting of particles of solid organic and inorganic substances, both defined as pigments, in that they are substances which absorb a fraction of the light and reflect the complementary part thereof, coated with acrylic and, optionally, aldehyde and/or ketone resins. The latter are deposited on the surface of the pigment by means of a process which envisages melting of the resin, consequent wetting and coating of the entire surface of the pigment with the resin in the melted state, the consequent cooling and subsequent step of grinding by means of mechanical systems operating in temperature conditions lower than 20~ C, by means of cryogenic processes or granulate by means of a wet method with a water jet cutting action and separation of the granulates by the water on a vibrating screen and then dried on a spiral elevator. The product resulting from this invention will be used as a semifinished product for the colouring and pigmentation of powder paints and plastics as a monochromatic colouring material and or will also be used, after dissolving in a solvent, or in water with basic pH, as a pigmented paste or directly in solvent or water based resins in the liquid paints industry.

Patent CA-2636883-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VOON GERARD
IPC: A01K61/00
Filed: 2008-08-25
Abstract: We could grow salicomia hydroponic tanks on land and on barges in the seas (GP  1%) and in fields where reflective (eg. Vaurnet Sunglasses) mounted on acrylic stand focusing reflective sun on a boiler of salt water into fresh water (if we make the system large enough the fresh water output can be used to grow com fields and/or any of the biocrops, agricultural, bio fuel crops and/or aquaculture) and the steam from the process (possibly capped off) spins a turbine creating extra energy, with windmilis mounted on acrylic posts.  And even grow crayfish/crawdads, gold fish, tilapia, bass, carp, koi, minnow, herring, smelts, perch and/or shrimp, lobsters any and all fish/crustacean/shrimp/alligator/crocodile/any and all waterfowl. We could build these farms of multiple levels eg. above the top floor windmills rise up on acrylic posts, on the top floor salicomia, below floors any and all fish/crustacean/shrimp/alligator/crocodile/any and all waterfowl, and underground cow and/or pig farm, since underground the cows methane can be collected (enclosure underground), and below these pens/lots we could build Gerard Voon's patented TALL GRAVITY  TO  ELECTRICITY INVENTION. We could also try planting other blo crops in the either next to the salicomia or in fields next to each other whereby the fields drain into one another including jatropha - drought resistant, (yams, taro roots, sweet potatoes, potatoes, (cassava 30% GP)(algae 30% GP) (also hydroponically)).
Patent CA-2638185-A1 (CA)
Title: Broadcast content distribution system, and distribution apparatus and broadcast reception terminal device for use in the system
Inventor: KURIHARA SHINICHI
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 2008-08-01
Abstract: It is assumed that a reception processing unit receives a broadcast program in accordance with tuning based on the user's specification. In this state, a non-viewable state detection processing unit monitors occurrence of a non-viewable state from an acquisition state of reception data. When the non-viewable state occurs due to a certain factor, a non-viewable state accumulation unit accumulates information on the non-viewable state. When the factor of a viewing interruption is solved and a user makes a request for service provision, the processing unit connects to a distribution apparatus to report content of the non-viewable state, and receives distribution of a relevant content, thereby the processing unit becomes able to recontinue interrupted broadcast content.
Patent CA-2639954-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WHEELER AARON R
IPC: C40B60/00
Filed: 2008-09-26
Abstract: We introduce a new method for implementing cell-based assays and long- term cell culture. The method is based on digital microfluidics (DMF) which is used to actuate nanoliter droplets of reagents and cells on a planar array of electrodes. DMF method is sutable for assaying and culturing both cells in suspension and cells grown on surface (adherent cells). This method is advantageous for cell culture and assays due to the automated manipulation of multiple reagents in addition to reduced reagent use and analysis time. No adverse effects of actuation by DMF were observed in assays for cell viability, proliferation, and biochemistry. These results suggest that DMF has great potential as a simple yet versatile analytical tool for implementing cell- based assays and cell culture on the microscale.

Title: Power skis
Inventor: GOSKI LEO V
IPC: B63B35/34
Filed: 2009-01-20
Abstract: The invention consists of two hollow skis filled with flotation material which are held apart by a flat plywood deck covering the mid-portion of each ski and on which is mounted a fixed aluminum handle which folds down for transport. A transom is fitted between the two skis immediately behind the after part of the deck on which an outboard motor is mounted which is fixed permanently in a straight-ahead direction. The entire craft is one unit with no steering mechanism and is steered by the skier, who stands while operating the craft, shifting his weight to either side. A lever is attached to the handle which, when activated increases or reduces the speed of the motor. If released, the lever would act as a "dead man" switch which shuts off the motor.
